Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 286, it seems mature?
Yang Xiaole didn't know exactly what Qu Ying was doing, but he just saw her coming back when she was about to have lunch.

"Qiu Ju! What's for lunch at home?"

A group of people were busy in the courtyard. Li Quanyou's wife smiled and asked Wang Qiuju.

Wang Qiuju smiled while washing the sheets: "What else can we eat? Boiled cabbage and some miso."

Widow Tian was also in the middle courtyard. When she heard this, she sighed; "Gas stamps were not issued this month. I guess the ration will be reduced again! Qiu Ju, have you heard any news?"

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju also shook her head: "I haven't heard of it either! But it is very likely that it will be reduced."

The last cooking oil ration was reduced to 4 taels.

It's already the 3rd, and the neighborhood committee hasn't issued fuel coupons yet, so the possibility of a reduction in fuel consumption is very high.

Several people sighed when they heard this.

It is inevitable to reduce the ration, but we just hope not to reduce it too harshly.

4 liang of oil, even if I don’t save oil for the New Year, I am already very nervous.

In order to celebrate the New Year in the city, they reduce their oil consumption from the second half of the year and save oil, just to have a good-looking and comfortable New Year.

People in the compound were muttering and complaining.

Yang Xiaole was there listening.

In fact, life in the compound is already very good. He caught so many fish last time. This thing is really valuable!

Can exchange a lot of good things.

At least there hasn't been any swelling in the compound yet.

Of course, if you are hungry, you must be hungry. After all, there is only so much food.

"Hey, Qiu Ju, isn't that relative of yours a vegetable farmer in the suburbs? Can you think of a way to help us grow vegetables? Do you think it's okay if we give you money?"

While thinking, Aunt Li's questioning voice came from the side.

Wang Qiuju heard this and looked at the others.

All look forward to it.

Then he sighed and said, "There's really nothing we can do about it. The vegetables that their vegetable farmers submit to the commune must also meet the standards. They may be slightly better than us, but they're not much better."

After finishing speaking, he rubbed the sheets and continued; "Actually, their life is even more difficult. Some time ago, the vegetable farmers' supply of cooking oil was stopped for four months. There was not a drop of oil for four months. It is now almost the Chinese New Year, and the supply has been restored. of."

Aunt Wang also nodded slightly when she heard this: "Well, I heard about it too, so how did they get here?"

Wang Qiuju sighed: "You'll get through it. In the past, sometimes when there was no oil, I would just get some castor beans. When cooked, they would have some oil."

"Ah? Do castor beans have oil?"

"Yes, but that thing is poisonous. It can poison people to death when it's raw. Only when it's cooked can a little bit of oil bloom."

"Oh, dear, you're so scary!"

Others were shocked when they heard this.

Aunt Shen, who came from the countryside, also answered the question after hearing this: "That's because we city people have never lived a hard life. How many people died when we broke into Guandong? There was a severe drought in 42, so how many people died? !”

Several people nodded lightly when they heard this.

Never seen it, but at least heard of it.

"Hey, Qiu Ju, your eldest is not young anymore, right?"

Aunt Zhao looked at Yang Xiaogang who was turning cabbage there and asked with a smile.

Wang Qiuju took a look and smiled: "You're still young! Don't be in a hurry."

Hearing this, everyone else smiled and did not answer the question.

Wang Qiuju felt uncomfortable looking at the expressions of several people.

In the past, someone asked me to help introduce one, but since the start of fine cutting, almost no one has mentioned this matter.

If after introduction, the person is persuaded to return to the countryside, wouldn’t that be harmful to the girl?

……

Yang Xiaole and others prepared the cabbage and returned to the house.

Looking at his eldest brother, he asked with a smile: "Brother, have you made your decision? That day, your mother dragged you into the room and murmured for a long time. How did you two discuss it?"

Hearing this, the eldest brother was confused for a while.

He hesitated and finally said; "I...I haven't told her yet! Isn't it a little early to say this?"

Yang Xiaole was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.

This meant that it was a little early for him to start talking about the child's surname or to talk about the other person's family before he confessed his love to Ding Ruolan.

Shaking his head: "Brother, I really don't want to talk about you anymore. If you weren't my brother, I wouldn't even bother to talk to you."

The eldest brother was confused after hearing this: "Then... what should we do?"

"What should I do? Cold salad! How did I know!!"

Yang Xiaole shrugged, then thought for a moment and said, "Hey, brother, let me give you an idea, or you can write a love letter."

These words made the elder brother embarrassed for a while: "Love letter? I can't write that thing either!!"

In rural areas, there are always celebrities who tell the story, so there is no need for him to come forward. What is he capable of doing like writing a love letter?

How embarrassing!

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought for a while and joked: "Then I have nothing to do. I can write it for you. The problem is that others will know at a glance that it was not written by you! Otherwise, you can just run up to them and ask them: Are you with me? I’m in love with you!!”

As soon as these words came out, the elder sister who had just come in next to her was very happy.

"Xiao Le, what a bad idea you have! If the eldest brother is rejected, he will not dare to see anyone for several days!"

Yang Xiaole shrugged with a smile: "Then I have no choice. Either, brother, you take people out to play, and ask them to go out to play when the weekend comes. When it's almost done, you can talk about it!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at his elder brother and said jokingly: "But there is something I have to tell you! We went skating before, but I heard them saying that her parents were going to give her a blind date, so you have to hurry up!! "

"Ah? When did you hear about it?"

When the eldest brother heard this, he hurriedly asked him.

"Didn't I say when I was skating? It was when I was skating there."

As soon as these words came out, the elder brother struggled for a while.

After thinking for a while, he stood up suddenly, went back to the house and rummaged for a while before coming out.

"I have something to do when I go out!"

After saying that, he ran away directly.

Watching his leaving figure, the eldest sister was curious for a while: "Xiao Le, what are you doing, eldest brother? You're not going to look for her now, are you?"

Yang Xiaole leaned on the chair, crossed his legs and said with a smile: "What else can happen? I said my parents are going on a blind date with Ding Ruolan, I can't sit still!!"

Then he waved his hand carelessly: "Okay, leave him alone. Whether he succeeds or not depends on him. If he really can't let his parents go on a blind date for him, I can see that the eldest brother is suitable for a blind date."

The eldest sister clicked her tongue when she heard this, with an expression of approval on her face: "Well, I feel the same way. Our eldest brother is suitable for a blind date."

Then he imitated Wang Qiuju's expression: "Boss, what do you think of this girl?"

She changed her expression to an honest one again: "Mom, I think it's okay!! It's her!"

Looking at her expression, Yang Xiaole was happy.

"Don't let me see you for a while, I'll definitely beat you up!!!"

Hearing this, the eldest sister stuck out her tongue, took a basin and ran out with a smile.

It was rare that my eldest brother didn't come back during lunch.

After dinner, Yang Xiaole found an opportunity to go out. He had to go see how this bastard Qu Guohai was doing now.

If he hadn't been expelled, he would still have to go through some trouble.

When he came to the food factory, he took out a cigarette and handed it to the uncle in the reception room.

The old man looked at the cigarette and took it happily. You must know that the current ration of cigarettes is two or three packs a month, which is more than enough.

"What's wrong? Are you looking for someone? I'll call you!"

Yang Xiaole shook his head with a smile: "Uncle, I'm not looking for someone. I'm just here to inquire about someone."

"Oh, who are you looking for?"

"Qu Guohai! Is there such a person in our factory?"

When he heard this, the old man screamed: "Tell him, he was fired from the factory for stealing. If Director Yang hadn't saved him, this guy would have had to go to labor camps for several months."

Yang Xiaole thought about it after hearing the words.

This old Yang is really insidious.

It was obviously him who did it, but in the end it was as if he had saved Qu Guohai.

I don’t know how this guy did it.

It's a pity, it would be best if I could go to labor camp for a period of time.

But it's good to be fired, at least it's enough for this guy to have a drink.

Seeing the old man enjoying his cigarette, Yang Xiaole smiled: "Uncle, you are busy, so I just asked. I originally said he could get me a job!"

"Hey, what kind of job can he get?"

The uncle shook his head speechlessly.

Then he muttered: "Why are you looking for him today?"

These words made Yang Xiaole, who was about to leave, stop: "Oh, uncle, who else is looking for him?"

The old man said nonchalantly: "Oh, a little girl and a boy."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought about it for a while.

It is estimated that the little girl the old man is talking about may be Qu Ying. This girl is really planning to come here to cause trouble.

As for the other one, he couldn't guess who it was.

But he didn't care about that.

"Uncle, you're busy, I'll leave first!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and said hello, then went back to push the car and left.

After leaving the vicinity of the factory, I looked around and rode my bike to the location of Qu Guohai's house that Qu Ying had mentioned before.

When he arrived at the alley near Qu Guohai's house, he stopped the car.

He adjusted the mask slightly so that his face was not exposed.

Because when he was at the entrance of the alley, he saw Qu Guohai chatting with a middle-aged man in an alley.

The two of them put their hands into their sleeves, shrank their heads and muttered.

I pushed the car to the edge, parked it, and quietly came to a corner by the yard and stood there silently listening.

I saw Qu Guohai wearing a dog-skin hat and complaining: "Old Zhao, don't scare me. Do you have any evidence?"

The man called Lao Zhao seems to be in his 50s or [-]s.

Wearing a dog-skin hat and a gray old Kyoto long coat and cotton-padded jacket.

I saw the other party heard Qu Guohai's words and sneered: "Do I need to scare you? I can tell you that the man I killed back then, his brother is alive and well now!"

Qu Guohai took a deep breath, looked around, and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, it was Ma San who did it, not me!"

"Haha, Ma San only fired one shot at that time, and it was in the arm, and another shot was in the chest. Others thought he died of excessive blood loss, but in fact, the shot in the chest was his. cause of death."

After Lao Zhao finished speaking, he looked at Qu Guohai and said with a smile: "There are many people who know that Ma San only fired one shot! Do you think that if Ma San knew that the man actually died in your hands, would he still be able to do it? Are you so afraid of you? Will that person's brother come to settle a score with you?"

As soon as these words came out, Qu Guohai swallowed his saliva: "Don't scare me! It's been so many years, my bones are probably rotten. Who would believe it?"

Lao Zhao folded his hands and said with a smile: "Haha, you are right, now there is no proof."

Having said this, he glanced at Qu Guohai, who was secretly relieved, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what would that person's brother think if he knew about this? Do you need evidence?"

Looking at Qu Guohai who was swallowing his saliva again, he continued: "And I was not the only one who saw you firing that shot. If people knew, you killed eight people back then..."

"shut up!!"

Qu Guohai shouted fiercely when he saw this.

Then he asked with red eyes: "What are you going to do? I'm not having a good time, so don't even think about it."

Lao Zhao shrugged indifferently: "I'm not having a good time to begin with. Even if I am exposed, it's not a big deal. You also know why I came to you!! Give us half of the stuff, and everyone will keep the same in the future. .His brother is now the deputy bureau of the branch."

After saying that, she looked directly at him.

Qu Guohai took a deep breath and thought about it.

Then he said, "I didn't take the thing, I only took a little bit!"

But Lao Zhao didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.

Seeing his expression, Qu Guohai felt helpless for a while. He was still too unscrupulous back then and was caught.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Okay, I'll give you half of the stuff, but who else knows about this? I can't give it to you. You can come back to me when the time comes."

Lao Zhao naturally knew what he was thinking.

He said with a smile: "Okay, don't even think about testing me. I can't possibly tell you. Am I still waiting for you to silence me?"

As soon as he said this, Qu Guohai was so angry that he was speechless.

Everyone used to lick blood from the knife edge, and no one understands what the other is doing!

Old Zhao looked at him and then said: "Tonight, you take me to get the things. From now on, you take your Yangguan Road and I will cross my single-plank bridge."

"no!"

Qu Guohai rejected it outright.

Looking at the suspicious old Zhao, he explained: "I took something from the factory, and the people from the police station were staring at me! Let's do it! Tomorrow, no, it's four o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, you come here, I will take you there .”

He still had to confirm one thing.

Old Zhao was surprised when he saw this: "Why are the police station staring at you? Aren't you just holding things from the factory?"

“I even took money from the factory!!”

Qu Guohai made some random nonsense.

Lao Zhao frowned and shook his head: "You are such a damn dog that you can't change your mind and eat shit. You dare to take anything!"

Hearing this, Qu Guohai glanced at him angrily.

He said impatiently: "Okay, you come here the day after tomorrow, and I will give you the things then."

After saying that, he ignored him and left directly.

Old Zhao looked at his leaving figure and thought thoughtfully for a while, then smiled and left from the other side of the alley with his hands folded.

After everyone left, Yang Xiaole quietly came out from the corner.

The two people just talked, and he already understood what they meant.

Qu Guohai killed an Eighth Route Army soldier back then, and his younger brother now has a high status in Kyoto. As for why he was killed, it is unclear.

Now the man named Lao Zhao is threatening him with this matter.Want something.

As for what it is, it's not hard to guess, it should be stolen goods from back then.

What do these people do?

bandit?

This was his first reaction. These people should have been bandits before.

Seeing Qu Guohai leave, Yang Xiaole quietly followed him to see what this guy was going to do!

Qu Guohai left the alley and did not go home. Instead, he wandered around the nearby alley several times and finally got on the bus quietly.

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he rode on his bike and followed behind.

The car went all the way out of the Second Ring Road and stopped near Yongding Gate.

Already in the suburbs at this time.

After Qu Guohai arrived at the place, he went straight to an earthen house.

When I came to the place, I looked around and shouted inside: "Lao Guo, Lao Guo!!"

After a while, a person came out of the yard.

Probably around forty.

When he opened the courtyard door and saw it was him, the other party was also surprised: "Old Qu, why are you here? Is something wrong?"

Qu Guohai looked around, "Is there anyone at home? Go in and talk!!"

Lao Guo nodded lightly when he heard this.

Put him in, look around, and close the door.

However, the two of them did not go in, but stayed in the courtyard.

Qu Guohai looked around and asked him: "Old Guo, do you still remember the Eighth Route Army that Ma San killed?"

Hearing this, Lao Guo was startled, looked around and whispered: "Are you crazy?"

Seeing that Qu Guohai didn't say anything, he quickly asked: "What's going on?"

Qu Guohai shook his head and asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you something. When I went to follow him, was there anyone else besides Ma San?"

After hearing this, Lao Guo thought for a while and said doubtfully: "No! No one else went except Lao Zhao to report the news to you! What's wrong?"

"sure?"

"Sure! What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Qu Guohai thought for a while with an expressionless face, and finally shook his head: "It's okay! I'm just asking about this, just give me a handful of this guy, and give me my other one."

These words made Lao Guo confused for a while: "What on earth do you want to do! What do you want that thing for?"

"Don't worry about it, give me a hand! We are both mortal friends, can I still hurt you?"

Lao Guo was confused for a while after hearing this, and finally after entering the house, he took out a box and handed it to her: "Here are the things, you put them away!! The world is different now, you'd better think clearly before doing anything. .”

Qu Guohai took the things, opened them, looked at them, and then wrapped them in cloth.

"I won't say any more polite words. I'm going back first."

After speaking, he left directly.

Watching Qu Guohai's leaving figure, Lao Guo felt worried in his heart.

He always felt like something big was about to happen.

Yang Xiaole witnessed this scene nearby. Seeing Qu Guohai run away, he quietly followed back.

The other party took the bus and went back in a big way.

When I got home, the other party didn't come out again, as if what happened before had never happened.

Yang Xiaole stared there for a while, but there was no movement from the other party.

Thinking of what the two had said before about meeting the day after tomorrow, he quietly retreated.

He could guess that Lao Qu was preparing to silence him!
I just don’t know if Lao Zhao has any backup plans.

…………

It was getting late when I got home.My mother is sewing the quilt cover on the quilt on the bed.

No one in the family was surprised about his return.

In the evening, the eldest brother came back from outside happily.

At this time, Xiaoli and Xiaomai had just arrived home.

Wang Qiuju naturally knew that the boss was going out. When she saw him happily, she asked curiously: "What do you mean when you go out?"

The elder brother was a little embarrassed.

"I didn't say much! I just went to the Temple of Heaven!"

"龇~~~"

Yang Xiaole felt a toothache when he heard this.

Damn it, in this winter, when it’s about minus [-] degrees, I’m the only one who can take someone to the Temple of Heaven to catch the wind.

Wang Qiuju also complained for a while: "You kid, don't you know how to take someone to a department store to buy something?"

At this time, she was wondering why the boss didn't understand!

The eldest brother just smiled when he heard this.

The eldest sister looked at the giggling elder brother, then looked at the others, and then asked, "Mom, tell me! If your son is really asked to be the son-in-law, do you really want to let him go?"

When Wang Qiuju heard this, she glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Then he said, "What your father means is that according to what Xiao Le said, if you have more children in the future, the second son will be adopted by their family. Think about it, it is not easy for people to raise a daughter. You can leave one for others. It’s not impossible in the end.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"Tsk, tsk, why are you doing it so mysteriously?"

The eldest sister curled her lips when she heard this.

When Wang Qiuju heard this, she rolled her eyes angrily: "I haven't even written this character yet! If I don't say it out loud, it would be so embarrassing."

After saying that, he looked at Mai.

Sighing: "Mai Mai, I will find you a son-in-law later. Or even worse, give our Wang family a second wife."

She has always had the same mentality as her second brother's two daughters.

Therefore, it is acceptable for the eldest son to adopt a boy to someone else.

Xiaomai's face turned red when he heard this.

"Aunt~~"

Wang Qiuju smiled when she saw this: "Okay, let's not talk about this. You are still young. Let's wait until you grow up. Okay!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiaomai breathed a sigh of relief.

Several people were eating happily.

……

At night, they wash up and go to bed. Several people lie on the bed.

Yang Xiaole felt that the kang was extremely hot tonight and felt a little hot and uncomfortable.

That night, he had a dream.

The fragments are intertwined until dawn.

The screen kept flashing.

Various female stars from previous lives, the final picture was fixed on Qu Ying's beautiful face.

"Pfft~~"

A silent catharsis.

Yang Xiaole opened his eyes suddenly, and then looked embarrassed.

He reached into the quilt.

It's over, the horse has run away.

Then he quickly took out a pair of shorts from the space, put them on, and threw the dirty clothes into the space.

Damn it, no one should know about such a shameful thing.

Lying on the kang, Yang Xiaole lifted up the quilt and took a look, then put the quilt down.

There was a feeling of resentment in my heart: It has matured!
"Brother, what are you talking about? There's no heat in this bed. It's freezing to death."

Xizi was woken up by the cold wind and complained in a daze.

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he kicked him over: "Aren't you in the same quilt as eldest brother? Why did you come here again? Go to eldest brother's side."

At this time, Xizi's upper body was on the elder brother's side, while the lower body was tucked into his bed.

After being kicked, Xizi felt unhappy for a while: "How did I know!"

He got out of his bed, tucked into his eldest brother's bed, and fell asleep again.

Yang Xiaole was lying on the kang, recalling the fragments of his previous dream in his mind.

Memories come and memories go.

It seemed that only Qu Ying's expression was the clearest in his mind, while the others were vague and he could no longer remember them.

Damn it, am I attracted to her?

But it's not impossible.

My body is still young, but if I calculate my age according to the upper limit of my previous life, I would still be in my twenties.

It is impossible for an eighteen-year-old girl like Qu Ying to say that she has no feelings at all.

There is a word to say.

Men are dedicated animals.

The girl I liked when I was 20 years old, the girl I liked when I was 30, and the girl I like when I am 80 or [-] years old.

Thinking of this, he accidentally scanned the next door.

Then he saw a scene that made his blood boil.

At this moment, Qu Ying just sat up, took off her thin long-sleeved undershirt, picked up the bra next to her, quickly took off her undershirt and put the bra on her body.

He quickly took the sweater and put it on.

After getting dressed, I got out of bed and picked up the urine bucket next to me.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole quickly put away his gaze.

Feeling that the gun was coming out like a dragon, he felt embarrassed for a while, and he would get corns if he looked around.

I lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep again and again. I checked the time and it was already getting late. It was time to get up.

I put on my clothes and got out of bed directly.

Wang Qiuju was making porridge. When she saw him getting up, she smiled and said, "Are you up? I even said I was calling you!"

"Well, I can't sleep. I went to bed too early yesterday."

Yang Xiaole hesitated for a moment, then went to brush his teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he went out directly.

Normally, he would sneak into the space in the middle of the night to solve his physical problems, but he didn't get up last night, so today he could only go to the public toilet in the alley.

As for the toilet at home, I had already taken it out and emptied it when I got up early in the morning.

What he meant was, why are you still at home relieving yourself after dawn?
When I came to the toilet, I saw a line of about ten people waiting for the toilet next to the women's toilet.

People in front would still shout from time to time: "Hey, it's been almost an hour inside, why don't you come out?"

Of course, everyone knows it can't be that long.

It's just an exaggeration.

As for the men's restroom, there are no such problems.

After coming in, the big butts on this side of the squatting pit were all uniform.

Going to the toilet while chatting.

This smell is very overpowering, even in the middle of winter it can't stop the pungent smell.

Yang Xiaole came to the door, stood on the edge, stepped on the bricks in the toilet, and started to cry towards the edge.

Very penetrating.

He was able to urinate ten feet against the wind.

After solving it, come out quickly.

I happened to bump into Qu Ying who was carrying a urine bucket.

Yang Xiaole glanced at it, said nothing, and continued walking towards home.

"How are you?"

Qu Ying changed the urine bucket to one hand, held it in her right hand, and shouted to Yang Xiaole who was on her left hand.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Yang Xiaole was confused for a while.

Qu Ying looked at him, sized him up, and then shook her head: "Nothing!! I just said it casually."

"Oh!!"

Yang Xiaole chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed, so he subconsciously asked: "By the way, how is your mother's side doing now? Do they have enough food there?"

Because he saw some national food stamps at Qu Ying's house.

Apart from sending it to her mother, I really can’t think of anyone else to give it to.

Qu Ying shook her head: "It's not very good. Their side has also been affected this year, and their side has been in chaos for a while this year. Several people in Uncle Zhang's team died."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole frowned.

Then something came to mind, which should be something that has not been reported.

You know, it's always a mess there.

Without saying anything, he walked towards home.

Qu Ying looked at him and felt strange for a while. This guy usually talks so much, why was he silent today?
When I got home, several people had already gotten up.

After breakfast, everyone rushed to school.

After arriving at the school, everyone was listless and feeling sick.
